I highly recommend Rich if you or your organization want to increase your strategic capability. Rich takes the complex topic of Strategy and provides a straightforward framework and practical resources to advance strategic thinking.

Your Deep Dive Strategic Thinking workshop was very effective at introducing thinking and planning concepts I am now using to develop strategies at FedEx. I found your program to be skillfully facilitated and concepts to be vital planning tools.

Ann Smith-Gill, Marketing Special Advisor, FedEx

Over the years, I have participated in a number of programs on strategic thinking, including a multi-day American Management Association seminar. All of these have fallen short in comparison to your program. Your expertise in this area is clearly reflected in your excellent course content, design and facilitation.

What separates Rich Horwath from other strategy resources is that he presents the subject is a very understandable, relevant and practical manner. His programs are excellent business resources that outline a clear roadmap for any manager to immediately improve their strategic efforts.

John Wandishin, VP of Marketing, Brother International

I wanted to thank you again for delivering your Deep Dive Strategic Thinking program to our group. It truly was one of the best developmental programs I have been through!

Rich Horwath’s approach to strategic thinking

Your Challenges:

“We’re reactive, tactical and constantly fighting fires”

2. Simple frameworks that organize strategic thinking tools into a sequential process that moves you from situation assessment to a complete system of strategy.

3. Clear definitions of the key business strategy terms leading to a common language and set of tools for creating, discussing and implementing strategy.
